Marathons have become a well-known tradition in the UAE that kickstarted in 1998 with the Dubai Marathon. With a footfall of nearly 2,000 participants in a year from the Dubai Marathon itself, it is clear that marathons have etched a place among UAE’s growing sports community and continue to bring more events to the forefront of the country’s sports roster.<\/p>\n

In 2018, the ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon was introduced with an aim to further boost the spirit of marathons in the country’s capital and welcome a diverse range of runners from all levels. And, to know more about how marathons can help you improve your health and wellbeing, we had the opportunity to interview coach Youssef Rochdi. Rochdi is a member of the USA Track & Field Association and founder of the Abu Dhabi Running Team, a club that is also the official training group for the ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon.<\/p>\n
